Slice up the cake using SEAL

Here at Rawmarsh Sandhill primary school the praise pod uses SEAL as a basis for its keywords. Pupils arrive at the praise pod with Congratulations! cards as a reminder about why they've been sent. With so much praise and reward going on there's very little point in trying to get the wrong kind of attention, and consequently loads of learning happens in a happy atmosphere

Filming for ITV's praise pod group intro

Here's the group of Y6 students from St. Joseph's R.C Primary in Rawmarsh taken just after filming. A big thanks to Dave from Rawmarsh CLC for today's camera work. Today we were welcomed and worked with three schools putting together an intorduction for the ITV site. It was wonderful to see such empowered learners and witness their confidence in font of camera. We asked pupils what they liked about their schools; their answers?



"Fun"
"Kind teachers"
"A place where nobody gets left out"
"It's like one big team"
"Everyone takes care of each other."

As a parent isn't that all we ask for our children's school?
